Mike Krzyzewski is working to secure a commitment from Myles Turner, a 6-foot-10 power forward who is considered a top-10 prospect in the 2014 class.

“I also like how Coach K talks to me,” Turner wrote in his blog. “He handles me like I'm a pro. He says things like: "Myles you're a pro and you need to carry yourself that way. You don't need to worry about all of this media, outside stuff you need to start training your mind now. Hopefully you'll only be in college for a year and head off to the NBA because I can see you there.’

“Coming from him that's big for me. It gives me even more confidence in myself.”

Turner recently cut his list of schools to eight: Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Arizona, Ohio State, Texas and Oklahoma State.

The Brooklyn Nets will hold their training camp this season on the Duke campus.

Billy King played collegiately at Duke under Mike Krzyzewski.

Goodluck Okonoboh has trimmed his list to five schools — Indiana, Duke, Florida, Ohio State and UNLV. 

The 6-foot-9, 220-pound Okonoboh often draws comparisons to Nerlens Noel.

Okonoboh is a top-40 player in the 2014 class.

Jahlil Okafor and Tyus Jones are widely expected to choose the same school.

Both players have included Baylor, Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan State and Ohio State on their lists.

Okafor and Jones will make official visits together to Baylor on Aug. 30, Kansas on Oct. 18 and Duke on Oct. 25. Okafor will visit Kentucky on Sept. 9 and Arizona on Oct. 11 without Jones. Okafor will also make unofficial visits to Illinois, Michigan State and Ohio State.

Okafor would like to make a decision in November, but his father said that is not set in stone.

Duke is rumored to be the frontrunner, which Okafor's father says his unfortunate.

"It's disappointing. It's taking the fun out of the process for the two boys," Okafor's father, Chukwudi Okafor, said by phone. "That's a shame. Let the kids go through the process. I just want them to enjoy it, not the media, not Twitter, not the coaches, not the AAU coaches. Those kids are highly intelligent. They know what to do. Let it play out, and I think the world is in for something special."

Myles Turner has cut his list to eight schools after finishing off a summer in which his stock has risen considerably.

Turner went from unranked to No. 10 in the ESPN 100. Turner has great length and is a skilled shot blocker with a high motor.

Turner is considering Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Arizona, Ohio State, Oklahoma State and Texas. 

"I have done my research and after studying demographics, coaching staffs, head coaches' records and history, these are the schools I have settled on at this point in the process," Turner said. 

Jahlil Okafor's AAU coach, Mike Irvin, believes there is a strong chance he ends up committing to Duke.

Okafor is the consensus top player in the 2014 freshman class.

“[Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski] was at every game, he was the only head coach that was really following Jahlil all over the place,” Irvin said. “If [Cliff Alexander] was sitting out it would only be Coach K watching that game. In my mind Duke has a really good chance to land [Okafor]. Coach K has done a good job of recruiting him.”

There have been rumors that Okafor and Tyus Jones will commit to the same school.

“I think there is a great chance Tyus is going to Duke,” Irvin said. “So if [Okafor and Tyus] are going to school together..."

Okafor's father recently said that his son doesn't have a clear leader.

John Calipari is unsurprisingly rated as the best head coach in college basketball when it comes to recruiting as he has built a pipeline to the NBA while at Kentucky.

Bill Self of Kansas and Sean Miller of Arizona rank second and third.

Rick Pitino, Billy Donovan, Tom Izzo, Mike Krzyzewski, Steve Lavin, Leonard Hamilton and Scott Drew round out the top-10.
